Move on subpoena power

Members of a special House in-

Six of the eight members of
the committee met to discuss
what was planned as an inter-
im report containing a request
to the full House for subpoena

The man who wasn ft there
Boren orders
By WALTER R MEARS
AP Special Correspondent
Jimmy Carter and Henry M.
Jackson gained the victories,
but in the end, the divided
Democratic verdicts of the Wis-
consin and New York presiden-
tial primary elections could
prove a boon to the man who
wasn't there - Sen Hubert H.
Humphrey
President Ford won his sixth
Republican primary, winning
easily over challenger Ronald
Reagan in Wisconsin.
But the drama was packed
into the Democratic contest
there, a race that turned
around early today and tipped
into Carter’s column as the fi-
nal votes were counted, hours
after Rep. Morris K. Udall
staged a premature victory cel-
ebration.
Washington's Sen. Jackson
won convincingly in New York,
although he fell short of the
delegate majority he had fore-
cast. He wound up with 41 per
cent of the state's 274 Demo-
cratic National Convention
delegates.
Udall came up a loser despite
a costly, intensive Wisconsin
campaign. The defeat was
magnified by his claim he had
won on the basis of an early
lead and victory projections by
ABC and NBC.
But the Arizona congressman
won a big bloc of New York
delegates. That showing,
coupled with his near miss in
Wisconsin, probably will be
enough to keep his campaign
going.
So Tuesday’s two primary
elections point to another three-
way race in the next big Demo-
cratic test, for Pennsylvania’s
178 delegates on April 27.
That could work to Humph-
rey’s advantage The more can-
didates there are to divide the
votes, the more likely a stale-
mate that would leave room for
a late entry by the Minnesota
In Milwaukee, the smiling
Carter got out of bed for a be-
lated victory statement, dis-
playing a newspaper with a
banner headline that said he
had been upset by Udall.
"We’re No. 1," he said. "...
I told you I would never tell a
lie. I would rather win than
lose."
And while the net result of
the Tuesday primaries did not
provide him with a major
boost, it left him the clear
frontrunner among Democrats,
with six primary victories to
his credit.
Jackson gained his second
win in New York, in a primary
that selected delegates with
separate contests in each of 39
congressional districts.
These were Tuesday’s fig-
ures:
The Democrats shared Wis-
consin delegates in proportion
to their popular vote showings.
Carter had 26, Udall 25, Wal-
lace 10, Jackson 6 and
McCormack 1.
On the Republican side, it
was:
Ford 324,473 or 55 per cent.
Reagan 260,622 or 45 per cent.
The Republican system
awarded delegates on a winner
take all basis in each congres-
sional district and the statewide
race, so Ford captured all 45.
NEW YORK
With 99 per cent of the pre-
cincts counted, among Demo-
crats, the votes stood
Jackson 1,336,974 or 36 per
cent.
Udall 1,099,344 or 29 per cent.
Uncommitted 665,722 or 18
per cent.

primaries but says he will reas-
sess his potential candidacy if
there is no clear leader after
the final primary voting on
June 8.
In addition, there is both
overt and latent Humphrey sup-
port among the uncommitted
Democratic delegates elected in
New York. NBC said it sur-
veyed Wisconsin voters and
found that 40 per cent of those
who cast ballots for Udall said
they would have gone for
Humphrey had he been running
Tuesday.
There were signals that
Humphrey would have pre-
ferred a Udall win in Wisconsin
to stall Carter. The former
Georgia governor suggested
that Humphrey had in effect
campaigned for Udall.
WISCONSIN
With 99 per cent of the pre-
cincts counted, among Demo-
crats, the votes stood:
Carter 269,573 or 37 per cent.
Udall 262,492 or 36 per cent
Alabama Gov. George C.
Wallace 92,160 or 13 per cent.
Jackson 47,332 or 7 per cent.
Antiabortion candidate Ellen
McCormack 26,765 or 4 per
cent.
Four other candidates got
scattered votes. Sen. Fred R.
Harris of Oklahoma was one of
them, with a one per cent
showing that could spell the
end of his campaign. He sched-
uled a Thursday news confer-
ence in Washington.
Carter 530,184 or 14 per cent.
Harris 115,082 or 3 per cent.
Wallace received 12,016 votes
and McCormack 7,305 votes.
Candidates pledged to Jack-
son won 107 Democratic con-
vention slots. Udall supporters
captured 69, uncommitted en-
tries 65 and Carter backers 33.
Carter had fewer delegate
candidates running than did his
rivals, and the New York sys-
tem offered no clear measure
of statewide support Further-
more, some nominally uncom-
mitted delegates chose sides,
six saying they were for Jack-
son, at least 16 declaring sup-
port for Humphrey
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)-
Gov. David Boren ordered the
State Highway Patrol to fly
State Rep William J Ervin
back to McAlester Tuesday
night after Ervin had provided
a crucial vote on a big prison
construction bill, it was learned
today.
Rob Pyron, Boren’s press
secretary, confirmed the flight
and said Boren and Dr Ned
Benton, director of the Correc-
tions Department, are splitting
the 8127 cost of flying Ervin
from McAlester to the Capitol,
then back to McAlester.
A private plane was used to
fly Ervin to the Capitol, but a
Highway Patrol plane was used
for the flight back to
McAlester.
Boren's 823 million prison
construction bill passed by a
comfortable margin Tuesday
night
But the emergency clause, al-
lowing the money to be spent
immediately if the bill is
enacted into law, requires a
two-thirds majority and it re-
ceived 68 votes, the bare min-
imum in the 101-member
House Ervin cast one of the 68
affirmative votes.
After being asked about the
use of the state plane. Pyron
delivered copies to the Capitol
press room of two checks Bo-
ren had written on his account
in a Wewoka bank
Both were dated today One
was for $74.88 to the McAlester
Air Service, which provided to
plane for the McAlester to Ok-
lahoma City flight The second
was for 852 50 to the Oklahoma
Department of Public Safety
for furnishing the plane for the
return flight.

second vote
on prison
OKLAHOMA CITY APi-
After some four hours of heated
debate, the Oklahoma House
passed Tuesday and sent to the
Senate for the second time a
$23 million prison construction
and renovation program.
The prison program was ap-
proved by both the House and
Senate and signed by Gov. Da-
vid Boren about three weeks
ago, but a challenge by Rep.
Glenn Floyd, D-Norman, forced
legislative laders to re-in-
troduce the program last week
